And we left a stack of signed books, so do stop by if you'd like some. Chagford is a very fitting place to take the first Adventuremice book because it's dedicated 'to the children of Chagford Primary School with love and toasted cheese'. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/1245474_original-fa4ca328b7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nOur next visit was to Ashburton, to \u003Ca href=\"https://gnashcomics.co.uk/\">Gnash Comics\u003C/a>!

It basically turned into a stack of animals, but we had a lot of fun coming up with it. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/1246851_original-c1c12fdb23.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nOne family came all the way from Cumbria(!) on holiday and it was great to see \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/lauralaura27/status/1643674993572691973\">@lauralaura27\u003C/a> from Twitter: \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/1246710_original-d86c58aedf.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nBig thanks to owner \u003Cb>Jenny Donaldson\u003C/b> for hosting us (and stuffing us with lovely warm hot cross buns from the bakery next door)!
